So reading this and seeing it from a more approachable angle was fantastic. Really that's what makes this whole blog work...all of you know how to present the odd, the controversial, the unknown in ways that feel rich and exciting. Thank you again.

I nerd where nerding is due. I know how you feel - I don't think i could ever bring myself to drop $7,000 on a jacket, no matter how droolworthy. Still, a girl can dream and admire. Sbj, if only we were taught Poell in high school! What would that class be called, I wonder. Miss Velveteen, thank you! I nerd where nerding is due.

I love this post for two reasons: its way of effectively highlighting an extremely cutting-edge designer, and its sheerly appreciable nerdiness. Beautifully reviewed. I do still feel guilty buying expensive clothes. I am a nerd for many things, but a lot of fashion still goes over my head.
